Haven't started searching out of the US yet. I do know however that my family on my moms sides are French Canadian. Crossed the border some time ago to start a life in Canton, St Lawrence, NY. they are not a very close family so dates and details are slim.

If anyone is looking for information about British Columbia, I can likely help.

My own family interests in Canada are mainly in Ontario, Manitoba & Saskatchewan, but I have Canadian connections in almost every area of Canada.

More than I can list in Quebec back to the first 7 families but: Sicard, Jacques Leguerre, Lavalle, Martin and .... Ontario: Keffer and Puterbaugh/Buterbaugh and Melvina Jacques Lasonda family

I can help with limited lookups in Jette; Tanquay; Red Drouin to start with for Quebec

Is anyone from New Brunswick on this list? I'm wondering if there are any RAOK groups that will look up a marriage in Fredericton from 1945....thanks

I have information on the Letourneaus of I'le de Orleans, Jodoin,Huot,Lemelin and everything in between. Would love to discuss and share.

Also, researching Oickle,Townsend, Jollimore, of Nova Scotia. A big ? is "Biscuitsauce" Seamone, thought to have been pressed into British Navy and escaped in Nova Scotia. Very curious.

I'm looking for descendants of Zelotes & Betsy Fowler of Quebec. These two were my gr. gr. grandparents. Their children goes as follows:

Danielle, I'm making no guarantees but I'll try to see what I can find for you. I'm on Ancestry, and have a lot of Canadians on my tree. Provost from Montreal area too. Somewhere down the line there is probably a connection as Provost and Prevost are similar. E-mail me and we'll see what I can do this weekend. regfan40 at yahoo.
If you can give me names for his wife and children, it will help me know I've got the right person.

My focus is on finding blacks in Canada dating way back to the New France era. So little has been written about Canadian slavery and though Canada ended slavery a generation before the U.S. did, documenting the lives of Canadian slaves is easier in some ways, but far more difficult in other ways.

Je cherche des ancêtres de Nicolas Godé, l’un des premiers pionniers de la ville de Montréal. Son nom ainsi que son épouse Françoise Godois et leurs enfants Françoise, Nicolas et Mathurine se trouvent sur un monument des fondateurs de la ville de Montréal.
Ce monument se trouve tous près du musée d’histoire et d’archangélique de Pionte-à-Callière. Si vous connaissez quelqu’un qui est un descendant de Nicolas Godé, veuillez me le fais savoir. Je suis un descendant de François Marentette dit Godé, l’une des familles pionnières dans la province d’Ontario.

A survey of the settlement of Detroit (South shore only which is now Windsor Ontario) dated July 1782 shows 25 female and 10 male slaves all to French families. My ancestor, François Marentette had 1 male and 2 female slaves. Source: The Windsor Border Region by Lajeunesse page 75.

Interested in any information on my mother's family. My mother was born (1905) in Sarnia, Ontario. Her father was William F. Harris, her mother Rose Williams. My mother had 1 brother, Norman Harris (lived in Sarnia), and one sister Pearl Harris who immigrated to Detroit/Flint Michigan. My mother came to the United States when she married my father William Reinbold. My family lived in Waterloo, Illinois where my parents are buried. Any info on the Harris and Williams family in the Ontario area would be greatly appreciated. I have found some info in hospital records. Thank you

My grandfather was born in the U.S. but during WWI he joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force and fought in the Battle of Vimy where he was wounded. He returned to Canada in 1917 and was in and out of the hospital until his death in 1921. I found in a New York paper an article that he lost his American citizenship because he enlisted with Canada. Looking for more info, any suggestions as to how I could find why the US would have taken away his citizenship.

Has anyone got any information on Estevan and the Miners' Struggle of 1931 please, I would be extremely grateful for any historical data on this. Thanks in advance.

Hi all
Have joined because i have interests in the surname "Widnall" from the Thunder Bay area in Ontario from about 1900 onwards, and if there is anyone out there who could do a lookup in Thunder bay Library, just a thought, I live in West Sussex England and would be willing to do a lookup(s) in West Sussex for BMD.

Hello all;
I've just joined and wanted to post my interests. In Ontario: White (Whitevale, Pickering area and St.Thomas) Van Buskirk; Todd (Rainy River). In Quebec, Robinson, Traver and Stott families who settled in the Lacolle/New York border area; Todd; Quesnel, Fahey. Campbell (Gaspe). In B.C. - Lockwood. In Nova Scotia, Van Buskirk. My current interest is to put together the Stott families who settled in St.Valentin (Stott Settlement), St.Jean,Quebec and I'd welcome anyone to contact me about any of these families. As most of my research up to now has been in the UK, I'm looking forward to connecting with researchers closer to home.

This will probably be a long shot,....but I am trying to trace the descendants of George GIDLEY (born 17 Oct 1862 in GreystoneBridge, Lezant, Cornwall) & Sophia Ellen SARGENT (born 22 Mar 1861 in North Tamterton, Cornwall), who were married on 13 Oct 1881 in North Tamterton, Cornwall.
George & Sophia emigrated with 5 of their 6 surviving children to London, Ontario, Canada during 1893. I know from the 1911 Canadian Census that some of the family members were living at 108 Forward Ave, London, Ontario.
The children being;-
Albert Henry GIDLEY, born 15 Sep 1885 in Boyton, Cornwall
Walter Willie GIDLEY, born 3 Apr 1887 in Boyton - He married Grace Mildred WELCH on 29 Oct 1913 in Dutton, Elgin County, Ontario. His profession in 1913 is recorded as Butcher.
Sydney GIDLEY, born 4 Apr 1889 in Boyton
Maud Ellen GIDLEY, born 11 June 1891 in Boyton - She married Thomas William GREYMER on 29 Jan 1910 in London, Ontario.
Ethel Jane GIDLEY, born 9 Mar 1893 in Boyton - She married Joseph Richard DWYER on 19 Jan 1914 in London, Ontario. On 29 Apr 1922 they were living at 137 Wilson Ave, London, Ontario.
George & Sophia then had 2 further children I am aware of born in London, Ontario;-
Isabell Sargent GIDLEY, born 16 Feb 1896 - She married Edward Gordon MOORE on 29 Apr 1922 in London, Ontario.
Frederick GIDLEY, born 29 May 1898

George GIDLEY (1862) is the son of my 2nd Gt Grandfather's first marriage (George GIDLEY & Mary Jane WERRING married 22 Aug 1861 in Launceston, Cornwall), so makes him my half Gt GrandUncle. I would like to find out what became of him, Sophia, their children and their descendants after they settled in Canada.
Any information or directions as to where I can go to find out any more information on this family would be appreciated.
Thanks
Michael

I have several family names in Nova Scotia that I'm interested in. LETTENEY, KINNEY, PRIME, MULLEN, SABEAN, DOTY, POOLE, WARNE, WYMAN, REDDEN, TRENHOLM, COLDWELL.

When my grandfather came down to MA in the 1920's his last name went from KINNEY to KENNEY.

Pam,

Try posting specific names/places/dates. There's lots of us on here who have access to various websites and could look for you.

Sellwood , Ontario, Canada

Can anyone tell me why the now ghost town, Sellwood, in Ontario, was so called? I have learned a fair bit about its history but the reason for its name eludes me.
I am hoping that one of my long ago relatives may have something to do with it.

I will be pleased to translate any français documents for you if you can send it to me raymarentette@rogers.com. No cost just the pleasure to help somone find their roots.
